Merry Christmas!

I did it! I made my first "City Sampler" by Tula Pink block! I have been waiting for the time, the space and well, the time again!
Our Christmas is a little different this year. I am at my Dad's house, two thirds of my kids are at my house up the road a piece, my middle sister is doing her thing with her kids down the road a piece and later on today, we are going to my other sister's house for Christmas dinner. My two kids who are here went to do their favorite pastimes...surfing for one and the other horse back riding. (And yes, we have the weather for both today...weird, Christmas at 65 - 70 degrees!)
So, back to the Sampler block. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I am taking Tula's advice and making the blocks my own. I thought it was going to be so so, but it actually turned out pretty good. (If I do say so myself)
With out further ado...

I made this with some fabric I have around the house. (I couldn't find it for days...simply because after a year, I am still not moved in to my Dad's house.)
